Jyc Row - Lunar Rebellion (feat. Koa) [English Version]

NEW INFINITE ECLIPSE DISCORD SERVER: INFINITE ECLIPSE’S PREQUEL MINI-STORIES: INFINITE ECLIPSE’S INFORMATION / LORE: Heya everyone, and merry Christmas! :D Finally, here’s the long awaited English version of the Infinite Eclipse track in Japanese I made with Satomi four years ago: Lunar Rebellion! Many things to say about it, though - the original plan was to wait until the SFM animation was done before releasing it. However, such an animation take a very long time to make and it’d have been postponed until an unknown date. In the meantime... This year has been quite terrible on my end regarding music releases and I had nothing for the last month of 2023. Considering all that, I decided to release the English version of Lunar Rebellion with a “classic“ video and we’ll release the full SFM animation when it’ll be done! In addition to that, my plan was to release this track way earlier in December, but I got a big issue with my computer and had to reinstall Windows and all my music programs and such. Since I was in the middle of my exams for my evening lessons, it took more time than planned. But yeah, in terms of music, lately, I’m really not motivated to do anything which is why it takes me more time to release stuff. Though, some good news about Infinite Eclipse Origin (the light novel series project, not the music) - it’s almost finished to be done and corrected and I hope for a release somewhere in Summer 2024. If you’re interested in that project, I’d recommand to join the IE Discord server linked above, as you’ll be able to see already a few sketches that’ll be featured in the first volume of the series! Anyway, big thanks to Koa for the amazing vocals here, as well as the edit of the original English text (that was simply a literal translation of the Japanese lyrics)! Hope you’ll enjoy this song and since I know there won’t be any more release in 2023, I already wish you a happy new year!! :D Instrumental, overall mixing & mastering by Jyc Row Original japanese lyrics by Satomi English edited lyrics and vocals by Koa Vocals mixing by Aaron Bryn Artworks by GashibokA: Original song in Japanese: Free download: Support: KOA YouTube: Twitter: Bandcamp: Patreon: JYC ROW Patreon: Soundcloud: Twitter: Facebook: ____________________________________________________ Lyrics edited by Koa: So… here we are, by the light of the moon Not a thing can stand in our way Now… we must fight, there is no stepping down We have reached the point of no return Devote your everything, underneath the stars Let your spirit sing with the radiance of the moon and vow To carry forth the night, the night without a dawn The war is on And as we take a stand, the future waits Steel yourself for what awaits you on the front lines With our noble pride, we face the sun Let them taste the shadow of lunar re-bel-lio-on Carry on ‘til the dawn dies Striking down every trace of a sunrise Under moonlight and spellfire And unafraid of sacrifice Carry on ‘til the dawn dies Let the stars light the way to our freedom From the death and the bloodshed The night will last forevermore Press the attack to win the war Feel the power of the dark Like the stars, burning bright, so too shall be our souls As we conquer with the night Wings aflame, she descends Where’s that shining smile that I used to know? Ah, even as I call my sister’s name Fire in her eyes says she’s long gone The promises we made, our precious memories Nothing more than ash and debris, burnt to rubble at her hooves And as I face her now, all hope is crumbling to the ground Set all aflame beneath her light Hear the cries of a thousand As the fire burns them all to the ground, and Now their blood is my burden I led them too close to the sun So the lunar rebellion Melts away in defeated oblivion Not a glimpse of survival Under her blazing wings, we burn I have nowhere left to turn As the sun begins to rise Even stars start to fall out from the fiery sky And I find myself alone Luna… Luna… listen to my voice Luna… can’t you hear me? It’s time… use my power You know you need to win this I can bring you to victory Let me in, receive my power, awaken your true potential We have no choice but to conquer the sun There is no other way Cast away your old name and take on your new title… Nightmare Moon
